Obelix Seaview Performances with Kraton and Tamansari City Tours

Our visit to Sultan’s Palace & Tamansari was truly insightful thanks to the English-guided tour! The food, view and performances in the Obelix Seaview were great too, but be sure to arrive early as the crowd will begin sitting down at the ampitheater as early as 3pm (on a Sunday). An honourable mention to our driver, Ray, from De Jong Asia Holidays. He reached out to us the night before our tour to introduce himself, confirm our pick-up details & even reminded us to dress appropriately for our visit to the Sultan’s Palace. It was a thoughtful gesture showing how attentive and professional he is. He was punctual and throughout the journey, he shared insights about the local culture and the places we passed, which made the drive much more meaningful. He accompanied and helped us purchase our tickets, ensuring everything went smoothly. His English was good too, so communication was easy and he was always happy to answer our questions. Thank you, Ray, for your outstanding hospitality!

Obelix Sea View is a must visit when you are in Yogyakarta! It has a good view. Fresh air located at the hill and provides good spot to get good moments to capture. Taman Sari Water Castle offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty. This captivating place promises an unforgettable experience.

An enjoyable trip with a good and knowledgeable guide. Obelix Sea View has an exceptional good view of the Parangtritis Beach, the Indian Ocean and the Sunset.

The driver was kind and friendly, the view of Obelix VIEW was beautiful, you can see Parangtritis beach and the Indian Ocean, we also visited Taman Sari and the Yogyakarta palace

I joined this tour hoping for a well-rounded experience, but overall, it was quite plain. These were places you could easily visit by yourself. I appreciated the Kraton guide; she was knowledgeable and engaging. The guide at Taman Sari seemed rushed and scripted. The explanations were repetitive, and when it came to taking photos, he offered little guidance and seemed unconcerned about the surroundings, often taking pictures hastily. My guide kindly let me grab dinner and later helped me find a seat for the performance, which I appreciated, but the show itself was underwhelming. Throughout the trip, the guide rarely communicated and felt uninterested, often walking ahead without instructions. Though listed as an English-speaking tour, much of our conversation mixed Indonesian and English, making it difficult to follow since I am not fluent yet. For the price, it’s acceptable, but I recommend exploring these places independently for a more personal and meaningful experience.
